Check out this article by star reporter Dorothy Thompson, a correspondent in Berlin until she got kicked out by the #Nazis. She saw the transformation of the most liberal democracy in the world to the most totalitarian regime in history. #trump #musk #fascism #nazi harpers.org/archive/1941...

I only knew the modern meaning of "Luddite" until recently. Turns out, the Luddites were badass, actually. So you get a thread! And now you'll know too!

"Hurricane Melissa has been astonishing to watch — even as someone who studies how these storms are impacted by a warming climate," @andrajgarner.bsky.social told @zeitlin.bsky.social.

Here's more on the storm that is battering Jamaica — and astounding researchers:

How Hurricane Melissa Got So Strong So Fast

The storm currently battering Jamaica is the third Category 5 to form in the Atlantic Ocean this year, matching the previous record.

Amazing. Stay safe Jamaica. #Melissa

Shocking footage captured by the US Air Force from inside the eye of Hurricane Melissa shows the full force of 2025’s strongest storm.

Melissa is expected to hit Jamaica on Tuesday, then move across eastern Cuba and the Bahamas, threatening catastrophic damage. #HurricaneMelissa #Melissa

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Can we just stop being nice and say without fear that this is a racist cunt who is part of a racist political party, led by other racist cunts?

Johnny_Five_Is_Alive @notsomagicmike.bsky.social · 6d

We need to stop being respectful and nice about people like this.

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

At 4:10 p.m., she texted me: "By the way-everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know."
I responded: "I'm sorry, but that's not how this works. You don't get to say that in retrospect."
Halligan was unpersuaded: "Yes I do. Off record."
"I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked," I said. "But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?
To my surprise, she kept going: "It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story."
I didn't respond. It was time to publish my story. I'll text it to her.
Postscript: Read the full exchange between Lindsey Halligan and Lawfare's Anna Bower here.

Highlighted text: “Hours after Lawfare published this article, Justice Department spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre provided the following additional comment:

“Thank you for including my statement in your story. I just realized I spelled Lindsey's name wrong in the initial response, would you mind correcting?
